Tabled by the Senate.

The Senate tabled, by a vote of IA to 9, the
Governors veto of the bill. The Governors
main reason was the fact that the present
bill was an essential part of the Hazen bill,
already vetoed on account of the corrupt
methods and attempted bribery used in pro-
noting its passage. The same reasons apply
with equal force here. Otherwise, all the
provisions of the Hazen bill might be enact
ed as separate measures and the objections
to the whole bill be evaded. The Governor
also says that the Boston & Maine and the
Boston q Lowell have no physical connec-
ton with the Northern, being separated
from it by the Concord. They evidently
mean to absorb the entire railroad system Of
the State, and 1t is question whether such
an event would be for the States interest

Teaching Arithmetic.


This subject is too commonly made
an exercise in the modes Of using figures
merely TO the neglect of using number IN
their relations to given questions for de-
reloping habits of correct thinking.
Teachers know too well that pupils in
arithmetic are prone to do that which
should not be done-to aid when they
should subtract, and multiply when they
should diride, etc.; they guess instead
Of thinking.
1t is AN indispensable part Of the
teachers work TO instruct the pupils
how to add, how to subtract, how to
multiply, and to divide; and it is just
as important that they should be Taught
to consider what is to be found out, as
means for determining which opera
ton should be performed in the given
problem.
The earnest inquiry of the teacher is,
how can pupils in arithmetic be made
TO think before they act'
Pupils who are trained to consider
what can be found out, by means of
questions, and to tell how they find it,
may easily be led to consider the con-
ditions of every problem given, in
order to determine what must be done,
in each case, to obtain the answer.
And pupils thus trained will be led to
think before they act. Try it, and see
what effect it will have toward remov-
ing thoughtlessness from your pupils
in arithmetic.

MAYNARD'
COUGH CANDY.
Recommended by the Leading
Physicians as Tonic and
Expectorant.

We take pleasure in making
known to the public, this valuable
candy, as a medicine. 1t is made
with a view of combining the best
known remedies for Bronchial
troubles with pure candy in such
manner as to make medicine,
while very pleasant to the taste,
yet effective in its work. 1t costs
but trife. The children consid-
er it a treat to get 1t to eat, and
yet it takes the place Of costly
syrups and troches manufactured.
Mr.. Maynard has been manufac
turing this candy and using it for
years, and has hundreds of testi-
monials from physicians and pa
tients wherever he has sold it,
speaking in the highest terms of
its efficacy as q medicine. 1t is
SPLENDID for coughs, colds and
hoarseness, and when melted and
taken as a syrup will cure Group.
1t gives us great pleasure to pub
lish the following testimonials
from our best physicians, recon-
mending j. q. Maynard's Cough
Candy:
DIR. 7. W. SHAW, a prominent
physician, formerly of Macon City
but now of PHILADELPHIA saws:
"The prescription from which
Maynard's Cough Candy is made,
is better remedy for throat or
bronchial troubles than the many
troches and lung balsams now Ill
the market"
DR.. f A. GROVE, of Kirksville,
says; 81 cheerfully endorse the
above"
DIR. GooDsoN, of Macon City,
says: at is a tonic and expector-
ant and very strengthening to the
lungs
DIR. I. S. RUBY, formerly of
Macon City, but now of Lebanon,
Tenn, says: Ih1s candy undouDt-
eddy saved me and my son from a
spell of pneumonia. [ will furth-
er give you privilege to sign my
name OF anything in commenda-
ton to your Cough Candy"

Five minutes writing is as good as half

In arithmetic, frequently whole

work will be much more satisfs .ctory.
In all branches properly directed

Feeding Hogs.

1t is the fact that it is as pro-
ductiva of evil results to feed
swine too much as it is to feed then
too little. Some people seem to
entertain the idea that the only
purpose to be sought in fattening
animals or in feeding them for
growth Is to stuff them, though a
moment of thought will show
plainly enough that stufiing means
a decentralization of the digestive
apparatus. 1t is rule often laid
down and it is a good one that
animals should never be fed more
than they will eat up clean; and if
feeding always received the atten-
ion that it should, that would
always be the plan. But our i'm
perfect ideas and systems are very
apt to be the result of thoughtless-
ness. Starting WITH the idea that
corn makes fat, and that the more
corn we feed the more fat we get,
we shovel the corn before the hog
and let it gorge itself. 1t is true
that the more corn we feed the
more fat we will have, provided
the digestive functions take care of
it. If they do not, the stomach is
overloaded, and an overloaded
stomach means trouble to a greater
or less degree. 1t is to prevent
this that We should always aim,
whether we are feeding for Fat or
bone and muscle. Profit in meat
production means economy in
feeding. If we loose an ear of c.rn
either by it being trod under foot
and into the dirt, in consequence
of feeding more than the hogs will
eat, or If we waste it by overload
ing the stomach destroying or
impairing digestion, and thus pre-
venting the system from utilizing
what is consumed, it is SO much
off the profit, and while one ear of
corn may not amount to much a
good many ears amount to a great
deal. Columns have been written
to show how the price of corn may
be raised by feeding swine, and it
is always interesting reading to
the swine breeder and feeder.
But it is no trouble at all to figure
out the profit or loss of profit of a
bushel of corn that is wasted.
The herd should be carefully
watched all through the fattening
period. The rule so often laid
down by the Rule and Stockman we
again state: Do not feed too heavily
when the fattening process is
begun, and by the way, that
ought to have been begun, and
generally has been before this
time, Feed lightly at first and
gradually increase the amount; and
when the hogs have been accus-
toned to full feed, feed than all
that they will eat and no more.
Give them good, clean food, and
feed on a clean floor. Never act
upon the notion that the hog is
naturally filthy. The animal will
eat filth, but it likes clean food as
well as any animal. Western
